DeBlasio needs matching funds to stay humble

Mayor Bill de Blasio stood by his decision to take on more than $2.5 million in matching funds from taxpayers — saying he'd be forced to turn to big donors instead of everyday New Yorkers to fund his reelection, despite having raised millions more than his nearest competitor.

Speaking on WNYC's the Brain Lehrer show Friday morning, de Blasio, who had raised $4.78 million in private funds according to city records, said he didn't take the upcoming 2018 election for granted and said he relied on the city's matching funds program to focus fundraising efforts on small donations.

"You cannot assume the outcome. People who do that are sorely disappointed," he said.

"We focused on house parties and we focused on reaching out to every day New Yorkers," he said. "Now if you had said...you’re not going to have access to a serious amount of matching funds than that would encourage me or any other candidate to go try and find larger donations and that's not the world I think we should be creating."

The city's campaign finance board approved $2,579,427 in public funds to go towards de Blasio's reelection campaign on Thursday.

He'd be forced to turn to big donors? I guess all the developers and unions are small potatoes?

The ego of this corrupt, powermad, megalomaniac mayor. These are the ramblings of a delusional sociopath. He is basically telling Lehrer, who must have been puking in his mouth, that if he doesn't get/hog these funds he will, ahem, resort to soliciting, ahem, bigger donors with nefarious motives and insatiable demands.

This city has had nothing but rotten and good but turned out rotten mayors for the past 50 plus years but De Faustio might be the worst of them all. He has exhibited duplicity since day one.

Our local news media needs to cover Albanese and Nicole more prominently these next few weeks, because right now there is none and De Faustio is treating city hall like it's a big safe zone. This must change.

Now, you can call 'Tall & Stupid' what you like, all Queens Crappers (and NYC hostages): But, a mayor he isn't, nor has he EVER BEEN (much less any of the many 'OTHER' cradle-to-grave, taxpayer-funded government positions over which he so completely betrayed all pretense of public trust, ethics, integrity, accountability and transparency, with impunity)!

He belongs in a long term jail cell right now, and adjacent to 'Shithead' Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos & Son (Adam), but thanks to a nutless wonder like Preeht Bharara (Schmuck Schumer's personal bitch - another sociopath of state government who belongs right next to de Blasio, Silver & Skelos in solitary confinement for life), these openly practicing hustlers will never see a long term lockup facility, much less an actual jail cell, ever in their despicably corrupt lives of epic fail!

In the end, harsh reality is always better than false hope. And, hope is a tease that is designed to prevent us from facing reality.
